HANGER FOR CARBOYS.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 270,183, dated January 2, 1883. i Application filed October 23, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, EDWARD L. DUNNET, a citizen of the United States, and a residentot' Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented certain lmprovementsin Hangers for Oarboys,

, '&c.,ot' which the following is'a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a ready means of hanging a car-boy, a barrel, an incased can or similar vessel to a frame or support, so that it can be tilted for the purpose of discharging its contents; and this object 1 at. tain in the manner which I will' now proceed to describe, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of a carboy with. my improved means of supporting the same; Fig. 2, an endview, and Fig. 3,.a view of anot herform of support.

In Figs. 1 and 2, A n-presents the wooden casing of a vitriolcarboy; or it may be a barrel, the casing of an oil-can or other vessel. On each side of the casing A is a frame, B, which consists in the present instance of inclined side bars, a a, and acentral-crossbar, b, the bars a being hooked at the bottom and bent inward at the top, where they are Welded or otherwise secured together. The hooked lower ends, d, of the bars bear upon the bottom of the casing A, and the bent upper ends of the bars carry set-screwsf, which bear upon blocks g on the top-of the casing; or they may hear directly upon the casing, if desired. By manipulating these set-screws the frames B can be readily clamped to or released trom the casing A. The cross-bars b of the frames have projecting pins-h, which are adapted to slots in the opposite supportingframes, D, these slots being at such a height that when the pins are adapted thereto the casing A will he so far elevated from the tloor that-it can swing freely, in order to pour out the'contents of the vessel.

When the vessel is large or heavy I prefer to use supporting-frames having movable bars 45 F, guided on the frames, and havingracks for engagement with pinions m, which are hung to the frames and are operated. by levers n,

having pawls adapted to the teeth of the pinions. in Fig. 3 I have shown one of the sup porting-frames with this arrangement, the bar 5.: having two racks, so that it can be reversed if one of the racks should be broken, and so as to permit the use of a supplementary pinion, m, which serves to steady the rack-bar. The bars F have recesses for the reception of the pinsv h of the clamping-frames, and suitable means should be provided for retaining thelevers an after they have been moved to such a position as to elevate the bars; or retainers may be applied to'the pinionsm; or,it' desired, 6.0

the pa'wls on the levers may act upon ratchetwheels secured to the pinions and held by suit able retaining-catches.

The clamping-frames B are such that they. will not deface or injure the casing A, and for this reason are preferable to pivot-pins screwed into the casing or secured thereto by plates held in position by screws entering, the casing.

By using independent clamping-frames B and sup anting-frames D, disconnected from 7.0 each other, there is no limit upon the width of the vessel to be supported, as in the case of supporters in which the clamping-frame is a single struc are and the snpporting-standards" are connected to one base.

I claim as my invention-- 1. Thecomb nation of the casing, A of a vessel with independent clampii-ig-l'rames B, each having a set-screw,f, and opposite supporting-frames l), disconnected from each other, and each adapted for the reception of a projection, h, on one of the frames B, as set forth.

2. The combination of the casing Act the vessel, the clamping-frames B, adapted thereto and havingprojectingpinsh,and theframes I), having guided and vertically-movablebars Q F,'adapted to receive the pins h, as set forth.

In testimony whereof lhave signed my name to this specification in the presence of two sub- 7 scribing witnesses.
